Political talk for the millennial

With our inaugural episode Eric Carr and Chaz Jenkins talk with me about region politics as well as awareness of our political situation as it feels in the PG area, DC area, Atlanta area and the outside of the perimeter of Atlanta.  We start this series with expressing our experiences from our area as well as what we perceive to be issues to address. 

TuesdayNight Red - Cabernet Sauvignon

Tuesday Night Red is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, and a truly pleasant example at this price.  Though typically assertive in flavor as Cabernet is, this one is gentle in style: black fruits, and a slightly ripe fruit edge in the nose and on the palate, with a touch of black licorice and pepper.  There is still a freshness to the black currant-like taste, and a soft balance between the acids and natural tannins.  This is not a porterhouse steak and cigar type Cabernet, but the beef food pairing is still hard to beat - for this bottle, on a Tuesday night, maybe a great grilled burger with sharp cheddar and caramelized onions instead

Detroit (The movie)

Amidst the chaos of the Detroit Rebellion, with the city under curfew and as the Michigan National Guard patrolled the streets, three young African American men were murdered at the Algiers Motel.

This episode Alicia and watch another one of the best directors working today (Kathryn Bigelow ) The director of the previous two blockbusters The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty.  Since we didn't have much history of what went on in the city of Detroit during this era.  We weren't sure if this was worth going to see  But when we found out Kathryn was director it, I knew we had to see it.  This is a very intense and contemporary movie of what is going on in our society right now.

Interview with Robin Jackson

On this episode of Hidden G.E.M (Great entrepreneur  movement) we will be speaking to one of those great and engaging entrepreneurs I have know for years, Robin Jackson.

Robin is inactive participant in her community with so many things, but we wanted to start with her business in Fairburn Georgia.  The Five star tax agency LLC. An amazing tax preparation service serving the city of Fairburn and the surrounding communities.  This podcast is about Robin and what we believe she brings to people as an activist and the community as a business owner.

Beaujolais Nouveau 2016 Review

Beaujolais Nouveau day is marked in France on the third Thursday in November with fireworks, music and festivals. Under French law, the wine is released at 12:01 a.m., just weeks after the wine's grapes have been harvested. This Beaujolais is a red wine made from Gamay grapes produced in the Beaujolais region of France.

This "Beaujolais Day" is accompanied by publicity events and heavy advertising. The traditional slogan, even in English-speaking countries, was "Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé!" (literally, "The new Beaujolais has arrived!"), but in 2005 this was changed to "It's Beaujolais Nouveau Time!". In the United States, it is promoted as a drink for Thanksgiving, which always falls exactly one week after the wine is released (on the fourth Thursday of November). Many producers release the nouveau with colourful or abstract design that changes every year, usually as an evolution from the previous year's design. Duboeuf has silk ties made each year with their label's abstract design, and releases them through select wholesalers and distributors

P.J Falkenberg Gewurtztraminer review

Characteristic - This VALCKENBERG GEWÜRZTRAMINER is a full-bodied, off-dry white with a lovely aroma of roses, followed by flavors of ripe peaches and litchi on the palate. The finish offers signature “gewürz” notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and clove. Perfect with patés, hearty cheeses or fruity dessert. Delicious simply on its own.

"While the nose is a touch herbaceous, there's plenty of varietal characteristic to celebrate in this fresh, blossomy Gewürztraminer. Green melon and peach flavors are brightened by a lemony squirt and delicate lace of sweetness on the finish."

Dunkirk Movie Review

In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated.

If you don't know Christopher Nolan is one of my favorite directors.  His vision and story tellingability has fascinated me since "memento".  But proceeded from there with the Batman trilogy, inception", Intersteller, the Prestige and Insomnia the sleeper of the group.  I'm not a big fan of war movies but this was something I knew I would enjoy since Nolan had his hands on it.  He wrote the script as well.
